例如2011年6月四级考试Passage1 Q60：What does Alec Webley consider to be the "definition of integration"?

原文相关句："One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly," said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. "This is the definition of integration."

题目选项： A) Students of different races are required to share room.

B) Interracial lodging is arranged by the school for freshmen.

C) Lodging is assigned to students of different races without exception.

D) The school randomly assigns roommates without regard to race.

首先，C)选项without exception与原文相关句表述"with some exceptions"正好相反，排除。在剩余三个选项中做判断时，可以参考全文主题。主题句通常在文章开头：Several recent studies have found that being randomly (随机地) assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also, to a greater likelihood (可能性) of conflict. 从开头句可看出，全文讨论的主题是"随机给不同种族的同学安排宿舍"的问题。再结合原文相关句中the process throws you together randomly，对于"随机"一词的重复印证，可以做出排除，选择答案D)。而其他两选项也可通过主题相关原则做排除：A)选项的be required(被要求共用宿舍)，原句未提及;B)选项arranged by the school(由学校安排)，原文也未明确提出安排宿舍的主体。
